The new watch is priced at $199.99 and is available for purchase from the company’s site.
Support for Wear 3.0
The company has not made any comments around the support for the new Wear 3.0, but one would assume that since this is a brand new watch with the latest processor, it will probably support the new Wear 3.0 operating system from Google.
TicWatch E3 vs TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, Which one should you buy
Although both of these smartwatches from Mobvoi feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 processor, there are some differences worth pointing out.

- Which TicWatch is the Best for you (2021)
Battery capacity is much better on the TicWatch Pro 3
The battery capacity on the E3 is much lower than the TicWatch Pro 3. The TicWatch Pro 3 provides up to 72 hours in smart mode and up to 45 days in Essential mode, powered by 577mAh battery capacity. The E3 with its 380mAh pales in comparison when it comes to battery life.
Better Screen and Resolution on the TicWatch Pro 3
The other important difference between these models is the display. The E3 has a 2.5HD display with 360 x 360 resolution, which is much less than the resolution from the AMOLED display offered by the TicWatch Pro 3. (454 x 454 + FSTN display)
No Differences in Health and wellness features, use the same biosensors
Both of these smartwatches use the same exact health and fitness sensors so there isn’t much difference in the health and wellness monitoring that you can get from these watches. The memory specs are exactly the same with both watches featuring 1 GB RAM and 8GB ROM.
In terms of operation, the new E3 also has the two side buttons much like TicWatch Pro 3, so familiarity has been maintained in this new watch.
The price difference between the watches is about $100. It will be worth noting that Mobvoi just ran a promotional sale during the Memorial day weekend where they were offering the TicWatch Pro 3 for $200 or so.
Given the better battery specs and the crispier display, my money is on a discounted TicWatch Pro 3.
If you are looking for a brand new wearOS smartwatch, you will not go wrong by picking either one of these beautiful and high-performance smartwatches from Mobvoi.
